TL;DR:

  • They apologized (again)

  • They will refund everyone who bought the beach DLC and make it a free addition to the game, admitting it was tasteless that they made paid DLC when the game is in a broken state

  • They will focus on base changes and better modding tools before starting to make more DLC (previously announced DLC has been delayed to 2025)

  • Console release delayed

Honestly, this is a good update. It's everything we wanted to hear. Looking forward to buying the game when it gets fixed.

Why do you miss things being permanently broken and unfixable?

The thing is, it forced the people making games to release them as a finished, working product, with the bugs (mostly) stamped out.

Today it's just push something out the door now, and we'll ~~patch it~~ soak them for even more money with DLC later.
